Welcome to the ISC2 One Million Certified in Cybersecurity Program!

Let's work together to make financial services more cyber-secure.

The ISC2 One Million Certified in Cybersecurity Program is designed to serve as a point of entry for non-traditional or non-technical individuals, those in the early stages of their career or career changers, and even executives who want to foster a greater understanding of the role cybersecurity plays in their organizational ecosystem.

Our plan for impact also includes actionable ways to encourage diversity, equity and inclusion in the workforce to reach populations underrepresented in cybersecurity. Half of our commitment—500,000 course enrollments and exams—is focused on this objective alone.


We are excited to partner with organizations like yours on this industry-changing journey.

Take Action

With high stakes comes the need for a surplus of readily available, well-trained talent. In partnering with ISC2 you will take an active role in priming the industry to address both current and future cybersecurity issues that impact financial services including:

  1. Integrated security for cyber resilience
    Piecemeal security solutions result in gaps in visibility and threat intelligence. Ensure protection beyond domain monitoring into full-stack visibility.
  2. Critical business health protection
    Damage caused by cyberattacks is an organization-wide issue — destruction of data; stolen money; lost productivity; theft of intellectual property, personal and financial data; embezzlement; and fraud are just a sampling of devastating outcomes to prevent.
  3. Mitigation of remote workforce threats 
    Create a secure, consistent and engaging environment that extends from the office to everyone who connects to your network, and work through better threat awareness and security controls in hybrid environments.
  4. Readiness for the future
    Embrace change with confidence knowing your systems and operations can adapt to current applications and those to come.
  5. Recruitment and retention of top IT talent
    The exponentially challenging future of cybersecurity demands an always-learning approach for your employees to feel challenged, valued and engaged.
